MOSCOW, Sept 14 (AFP) - Former US president George Bush arrived Sunday at the Black Sea resort of Sochi to be welcomed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Bush and his wife Barbara, the parents of the current US President George W. Bush, were welcomed by Putin as they left their plane before heading to Putin's holiday home, the Interfax news agency said.

The Bushes, who are on a private visit to Russia, spent the past week in St Petersburg, according to Russian media, and arrived in southern Sochi on a plane hired by the Kremlin.

Putin is due to travel to Camp David in the United States at the end of the month to meet with the US president on September 26.
